XODs at RLYC Summer Regatta

Judith Wilkinson

A fleet of 65 boats split into 8 fleets gathered for the Royal Lymington Yacht Club Summer Regatta over the weekend. The well established event had a number of sponsors and supporters including North Sails.

On the first day the fleet was split into two, the XODs in one area, were competing for the Bobby Bongers Trophy whilst the rest had platform starts as per the Thursday night racing. Class 1 & 2 IRC managed two races and the rest of the classes just one in the light, shifty conditions.

On Sunday with postponed starts due to fog all the classes sailed one race.

Congratulations to David Palmer and his crew on Princess Jalina who took the overall win in the XOD class.
